"Indian and Anatolian Sufism share several connections due to the historical and cultural exchange that took place between the Indian subcontinent and Anatolia (modern-day Turkey) over the centuries," Prof Moini said.
The order was founded in the 11th century by the Sufi saint Khwaja Moinuddin Chishti, who was known for his emphasis on devotion, love, and the personal experience of union with God.
